Sterilization


Tubal sterilization or so called tubal ligation is a permanent form of contraception. Tubal sterilization is surgery to block a woman's fallopian tubes. After this procedure, eggs cannot move from the ovary through the fallopian tubes, and eventually to the uterus. Also, sperm cannot reach the egg in the fallopian tube after it is released by the ovary. Thus, pregnancy is prevented.
There are two options for tubal sterilization:
1). When surgical procedure includes cut or tie or burn of fallopian tubes;
OR
2). Essure spring-like coils inserted to block the fallopian tubes. Essure is a new non-surgical method of permanently blocking the fallopian tubes to stop pregnancy from occurring.
